How to Host a Lego Themed Birthday Party

Children love Legos.

School aged boys and girls love Legos. A Lego themed birthday party in your child's honor is sure to be a hit. There are many ways in which you can be creative in planning a Lego party while keeping it easy and fun. The big payoff is that your child will treasure the memories of this party for a lifetime.

Things You'll Need

• Lots of Legos
• Yellow caution tape
• Plastic hard hats

Instructions

1. Create a cool party invitation that will let your guests know the theme of the party. You can use a Lego and attach the party details to a piece of paper onto the Lego and if possible hand deliver the invitations-it's easier than trying to mail a Lego. If you're going to invite your child's class you can place one Lego with an attached invitation into each school cubby.

2. Gather as many Legos as possible. You can find Lego's at lots of yard sales or thrift stores. Create different sections at the party place: for example, a place to build tall buildings and another space to make animals out of Legos. The idea is to come up with a number of different party venues. Include a competition table and invite guests to make their wackiest building out of Legos.

3. Pass out plastic hard hats to guests to create the illusion of a construction zone. Drape yellow caution tape around your front door to welcome guests to the "Lego building area."

4. Create a contest to honor superlatives including best build, most creative, wackiest tower and honorable mention. Be fair and make sure you have a little prize for every guest.

5. Create a Lego themed cake. If you're not a baker order one from your local supermarket.

Tips & Warnings

• Plan ahead.

• Consider the age group and make sure the Lego activities you've chosen are age appropriate.

• The key to the success of this type of party is to have plenty of Legos on hand and creative opportunities for play.
